New Trailer for the Coming of Age Film STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

Trailer Movie about 11 years agoby Joey Paur

Here's a new trailer for Glee's Chris Colfer's first film, Struck by Lightning, that he wrote and stars in. The quirky coming of age comedy was directed by Brian Dannelly and also stars Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Hyland, Rebel Wilson and Allison Janney.

Here's a short synopsis:

After a high school student is killed by a bolt of lightning, flashbacks chronicle his exploits as he blackmails his classmates into contributing to a literary magazine he's publishing.

The movie looks like it could be decent. It looks like it has kind of a John Hughes feel to it, but only time will tell if it can really be compared to Hughes. I recently saw the film Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I thought it was great, it definitely reminded me of a Hughes film. I guess there's a chance that this one could be as well.

Check out the trailer and let us know if it looks like something you'd want to see! The movie hits theaters on January 11th, 2013.
